Blindness and Mirrors

July 31st, 2014 — 5:30am

This week, for the first time, I did a session with a personal trainer. I learned things about my posture and how I tense up that seem obvious in hindsight. The thing is, I’ve been hanging out with my body for 35 years and I never noticed those things. In five minutes my trainer did.

Our brains are made to notice change and contrast, not things that have always been that way. And things look different from the other side of your eyeballs.

Recognize your blindness to yourself and ask trustworthy people to be mirrors for you.
